Backstory[]
Once I am here...once there's no distinction between me and reality...only then will you know true Carnage.
- —Cletus Kasady, aka Carnage
Early Life[]
Cletus Kasady was a troubled child. When he was young his parents died, so he moved in with his grandmother. At 8 he killed his grandmother by pushing her down the stairs. He was sent to juvie and then a school orphanage for troubled kids, but that ended when he burned it down, incidentally killing everyone inside. And so began Cletus's long run as a serial killer.
Carnage[]
Eventually he was imprisoned and sentenced to death row and 20 life sentences. At the same time Eddie Brock was doing time for his crimes. When the Venom symbiote broke Eddie out, it was discovered that the symbiote had had offspring, a red symbiote named Carnage. After Brock escaped, Carnage bonded with Cletus and broke him out, a dangerous, powerful murder symbiote was let loose.
Spider-Man[]
Carnage ran into Spider-Man, and, when it became clear that he was too powerful for Peter, Peter recruited the help of Venom to fight and defeat Carnage. They eventually did, and Carnage ran off into hiding.
Maximum Carnage[]
Carnage resurfaced and infected tons of heroes and villains with his symbiotic essence. Eventually, though, with the help of several other heroes and villains, Carnage was defeated by Venom.
